Beast Boy:

"Well someone's happy." Her sarcasm couldn't be any easier to detect, but I didn't care at the moment. I was finally getting somewhere with our leader after years of struggle. As much as I wanted to rub it into each of their faces and tell them how wrong they were, I knew Robin wouldnt approve of me sharing our secret deal. I wasn't that stupid and I wasn't about to push him away again. So instead of shooting back a snide comment that would've ended with me flown out the building, I shot her a goofy grin.

"I guess I just had a good nights rest. Thanks for noticing Rae." I knew that using her pet name I've given her would get under her skin. It only proved my point when she clenched her teeth and she gripped her cup with unnessisary force.

"Don't call me that." She growled through gritted teeth. Before I could tease her any further Cyborg stepped in placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Glad to see you're still not moping around about yesterday." Truth be told I totally forgot about my whole little out burst. It made me flush to think about how much I over reacted.

"Yeah..um...sorry about that." I offered a small laugh.

"Whatever man. You still up for our video game show down?" Crap. I had totally forgotten about our tournement today. Since the whole Robin incident, we had been spending less time together (in his words). He had to take on the leader, while I tried to coax Robin out of his solitude. There really wasn't any time imbetween for us to hang out like we use to.

"That was today? Sorry dude, can I take a rein check? There's something important that I have to do." The look on Cyborgs face could've killed, and I felt guilty for leaving him in the dust. I knew I was his best friend, and he was mine and lately we've been pretty distant.

"What? But we've been planning this out for months! you're just going to bail on me?" I winced.

"No..." I held out the word, looking between the two girls for help. None ws given. "Its just really important. I'll make it up to you tomorrow." He wasn't about to argue, but I could tell he didnt believe me.

"Where are you going friend Beast Boy?" Starfire asked. I bit into my toast I had been making during the conversation. chewing slowly, Once I finally got it down I looked up at her curious face. Why did she have to be so damn muliutive, I couldn't bring myself to lie to her.

"Erm...I meeting someone." The looks that I got were priceless, and I had a hard time fighting down my blush. It wasn't often that I left the tower, nontheless to meet someone.

"Is it someone we should know about." Cyborg asked.

"No. Not yet anyays."

"May we join you?" Starfire asked, poking at my shoulder.

"No!" I said that a little quicker than expected. Raven and Cyborg both raised an eyebrow, while starfire stopped poking me. "No." I said again more calmly.

"Just don't come bringing strangers into the tower. We dont want another accident like last time." Raven said, getting up and walking towards the door. I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever mom." I yelled after her playfully. She stopped just before she could walk out the door, and half turned towards me.

"Oh trust me, you dont want me as your mom." She said darkly, though I could hint out the playfulness in her voice also. With that she left the room. I finished eating my toast and chugged down a half glass of soy milk in a matter of seconds. Putting my dishes in the dishwasher, I reassured Cyborg that we would have the match tomorrow.

"Don't wait up on me." I said as I walked out of the room.

It didn't take long for me to reach the park. I was thankful a lot of people weren't here to see me out of uniform. I don't know why but I always felt uncomfortable when I didn't have my suit on. I was currently wearing a hoodie that was a bit to big. I wasn't as small as I was when I was younger but Star still had trouble picking out clothes that were the right size for me. I through on the first pair of pair of pants I could find. Which just so happen to be a n old fading pair of jeans with holes forming at the knees. Honestly, Im not sure why I havent thrown them away yet. And to top it all off I pulled out the sneakers i wore with my old costume. I hadn't even bothered to touch my hair, not that I ever did. For all I cared I still had bed head.

I had arrived at the bench a little earlier than what we agreed on, Which was fine, it gave me a moment to think. After I had agreed to go with whatever Robin had to offer, he asked me to meet up here. He warned me to not be late or else I could forget about everything. That was good enough of a threaat to keep me up for most of the night. He said once we meet up he'd explain everything, and the rules that would follow them. He didnt say much after that. Though I did hear him curse about having his hand bandadged. And he was gone. I wasn't all to thrilled about spilling the beans about my life. Hell, I'd rather not even think about it. But if it meant breaking Robin from his isolation I was all for it.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt the weight change on the bench. I looked up to see a boy about my age. He had shaggy raven hair that covered his eyebrows. He wore a black leather jacket with a white t shirt underneath and black pair of jeans. On his feet were black combat boots. But the shades was the thing that stood out to me the most. It was so dark that I couldn't see his eyes, and it was a bit odd because it was cloudy out.

"Are you going to keep staring because it sfucking creepy." I blinked a few times before I could comprehend what was just said. Not only was I embaressed for staring, I was embaressed of who I was staring at.

"R-Robin?" It came out as a squeak, which only made me turn redder. "I didn't even realize it was you."

"You actually showed up on time." He said either not hearing the comment or not bothering to answer. "Good. Before we get started I have to ask you...do you really want to do this? I know there is as much as you're not telling us as Im not telling you."

of course I didnt want to tell him anything! He was probably the last person I would think of to share my secrets. I didnt even know if I could really trust him. We weren't exactly "buddy buddy" when we were younger anyways. But then again, he was going to do the same. And I was the last person to think he would share his with.

"Yeah, I do." I said, swallowing whatever sence I had to turn back. "How does it work."

"Think of it as a game." He said, staring ahead to look at something. "Ask any question you want. You are allowed five questions a day. At the end, if we trust each other enough, we tell our deepest secret. You already know what mines will be about." He turned in my direction, raising an eyebrow. "Got it?" I nodded. "If at any point you want to confess something, you may do so."

I watched him stand up and stretch. For some reason I found myself taking in every detail. Every curve, the way his back arched, the way his body seemed to move in one fluid motion. It all seemed to fantasy like to be real.

"hey, I said stop staring, brat." Fuck. As if this day wasn't awkward enough. He began walk away and I had to jog to catch up to him.

"Why do you call me that?"

"What?"

"A brat."

"Because you are one." He shrugged. I crossed my arms, glaring up at him.

"Am not!" He raised another eyebrow at me. It was at that moment I realized how pathetic I must've sounded. I honestly probably sounded like some bratty ki-"I am not a kid!"

"I never said you were but since you've pointed it out, good for you for figuring out." He said with a smirk. I curesed under my breath.

"What's your real name." I suddenly found myself asking. He didn't even bat an eyelash, as if he already knew the question was coming.

"Dick. Dick Grayson." I had to surpress the urge to laugh because I knew that mines wasn't any better.

"Dick?" I said incredulously, though with a grin plastered on my face.

"Richard is my first name but everyone called me Dick."

"I wonder why." I breathed under my breath. But he had heard me and shot his head towards me.

"Got anything else you want to add, Garfield?" I shut up then. I shake my head no, letting out a small sorry. Why was he so intimidating? We didnt talk the rest of the walk through the park, which I was sort of glad for. Once we reached the city. he turned towrds me.

"Hungry?" I was going to say no, honestly, but my stomach had a different answer. Apparently toast and soy milk wont hold you down forever, and at that moment my insides gurgled. Robin didn't seem fazed bythis but I was blushing like a maniac. " I take that as a yes." We ended up going to a little coffe resturaunt and at this moment I was slowly chewing a coffee cake. There wasn't much on the menu I could eat or was willing to try. At least this would hold down my stomach for awhile.

I'm not going to lie, its awkward. I silently wished I was back at home with Cyborg and our match. The dude had kept a poker face for most of the day, and right now he was watching me eat. I guess he wanted to make sure I ate all the food or something, since he had to pay for it. Yep, leave it to me to leave my wallet at home. I was trying my best to look at anything but him.

"Where are your parents?" The question had popped out so suddenly that I choked on the peice of cake I was eating. I hit my chest couphing like I had came down with the plague. I quickly drank some of my water, which hekped a bunch. It wasn't until i was done chugging my drink did I notice all the people in the resturaunt starring at me. I awkwardly laughed and turned back to Robin. My expression must've been hilarious.

"W-What?"

"Its pretty obvious that Mento and Elasta-Girl aren't your real parents." I didnt know whether or not I should be offeneded. Did he think I came from some alien family, that I was born like this? I could tell he saw I got offened, and he through his hands in the air. "I didnt mean it in a bad way, brat. It's part of the game remeber?" I relaxed a little. I looked back down at my plate, picking at the cake. I honestly didn't feel like eating anymore.

"They um...they died in a boating accident." I swallowed. Its been awhile since I thought about them. I wanted it to stay that way. The less I thought, the less pain I felt. And right now all the guilt that I felt that day suddenly came flooding back to me. "I could've saved them, but they told me to leave. I didn't know I would be watching the plumet to their-" I stopped, not wanting to make a scene in a public area. I had to bite my lower lip to keep from crying. I looked up to see Robin's reaction. He was currently leaning back in his seat, arms crossed, and staring out the window. For a moment I felt a wave of anger. Was he even listening? But then he turned towards me with an expression I couldn't explain. It was a mixture of pity and his own personal sadness.

"I watched my parents fall to their death." The words were barely audible, but I was able to hear each word loud and clear. It was at that moment that I knew I could trust him. I know he didnt have an easy childhood, just as I hadnt. Before I could say another word the door flung open and in walked three men that looked like they meant buissness, and not the good kind. "Fuck." Robin cursed as he quickly got up from his seat and put some money on the table. "We need to go. Now." The urgency and authority in his voice told me I shouldn't ask why, and we quickly left the building from the back door.

We walked through a maze of ally ways and tunnels until we were back near the park. By the time we got there I was out of breath and giving him a 'wtf' expression. Robin didnt seem to be fazed by the running we just did.

"Robin! I thought I smelt hero." We both turned around to see the three men we saw at the coffee resturaunt making their way towards us.

"God fucking damn." He whispered. I looked at him, then to the men and back. He didnt look ready to fight, though he did seemed angered they had followed us.

"Who are they?" I found myself whispering.

"Trouble." He said through gritted teeth.

"It was really rude of you to walk out on us with out saying hi." The one that looked like the leader said. The other two shook their heads in agreement. "Oh look, you brought us a gift." He said, eyeing me up and down. I found myself wiggling at his gaze, and was surprised when he held out his hand for me to shake. "The names chap, and these two goons are Buck and Jalfore." Before I had a chance to shake his hand, it was slapped away by Robin, who took my raised hand in his own. If I had been embaressed before, nothing could compare to right now.

"Back off chap, he's with me." I didn't know what the hell was going on, or what I had just gotten myself into, but I knew I shouldn't be here.

"Oh really? Well you know your going to have to more proof than a simple hand hold Robin. In fact," He said looking at me again and smirking . "Green just may be my new favorite color." I felt my heart stop. Was I being flirted with? Robin squeezed my hand harder, bring me back to our current situation.

"Just fuck off before I beat your arse." Robin growled. Chap through his hands up defensivly.

"Just prove to us that you are in a relationship and we'll be on our way." Chap said with another sly smirk. A relationship? What the hell was going on?

"fine." Robin let go of my hand and spun me around. Before I had time to even comprehend what was happening his lips were on my. It was only for a few seconds but my mind was in a whirl wind. By the time his hands left my waist I had found no means to listen to the rest of the conversation. After a few minutes of talking Robin had his hand in mines again and lead me off in the opposite direction. Once he decided we were at a far enough distance he let go and faced me. Only one thing came to my mind.

"What the Hell?" Robin seemed unfazed, and shrugged.

"I was expecting more of a thank you."

"Thank you?!"

"your welcome." I was beyond furious. Not only did he invade my personal space, but he invaded it for the hole world to see. And then he had the nerve for me to thank him? Oh hell no.

"What? I can't believe you just did that! And in front of everyone!"

"Would you rather be his little play toy?" he snapped.

"Huh?" Now I was confused.

"Chap, he has the ability to make people fall head over heals for them even if you don't want it. He does have some class though. He wont take you if your in a relationship. Be thankful I didnt hand over your ass on a silver platter, which mind you he would've liked very much." Ok, ew. Maybe I shouldn't have yelled at him, but he still couldve warned me.

"But I'm not-"

"Gay? Don't have to be. They prey on mutants, thats what they thrive on. And just because I saved your ass doesn't mean anything. In fact, lets never speak of this again."

"Agreed." And we were walking again. To where I had no idea. We had a few minutes of silence. Though I tried to forget everything that happened, it still lured in the back of my head. It occured to me that Robin didnt have to do what he did for me, but he was good enough of a friend to save me in the way that he did. "um...Robin?"

"hm?"

"Thanks."

"Whatever, brat." He said, looking at me with the smallest of smiles, For some reason it made my heart skip a beat. "Its been a long day. lets call it quits." I didnt even notice that we were at the parking lot until Robin got on his bike. "You can come to my room tonight if you come up with some more questions. Just dont let anyone see you."

"Wait, your not going back to the tower?" He threw on his helmet and shook his head.

"No, I've got some things I need to take care of." The look that I gave him must have told him what I was thinking. "What? You didnt honestly think I stayed up in my room the whole time. I do have a life."

"But everytime I knocked on your door you were there."

"Ever heard of voice recording?" I could tell he was smirking under his helmet. Before I could ask any more questions, he started up his bike and drove off into the distance. I stood there in stunned silence. So the whole time I thought he just locked himself in his room, it was just a recording. I mentally slapped myself for being so stupid. He was good.

I decided not to go through the main doors of the tower and go through my window. I was honestly to exhausted to greet my friends and only wanted to rest. I collasped on my bed, not even bothering to take off my shoes. I knew it wasn't the usual time that I went to bed, in fact it was only seven, but I could care less. All I wanted to do was rest and forget about the events that happen today.

But as I was feeling sleep take over me, my mind went back to the kiss. The way he held me, the softness of his lips, the way it felt like the world dissapeared. During the kiss I was to confused to really comprehend what was going on, but right now that im thinking about it I realized that,,,

I liked it.
